No BS Zone looks more like total **it
I received an email today asking what I think of No BS Zone now.
It was gratifying to note that at least one person reads my Blog (one person apart from me that is!).
I did promote No BS Zone for a while. This was against my better judgement after the Banners Go MLM fiasco but NBSZ was recommended by someone I trust and admire. I felt that it would be fair to give the owners of NBSZ another chance; it is not right to condemn somebody for a past crime. Unfortunately, things rapidly went pear shaped.
I stopped promoting NBSZ weeks ago when the first doubts about the programme were voiced. I emailed my mailing list and warned everyone and I published the warning in my monthly newsletter in March. Looks like the only place I missed was here!
This is what I published in March:
This month in London
My view of the Internet from here.
There have been some complaints about No BS Zone which included unauthorised credit card transactions and lack of response from the management. This coincided with me reading a review which said that the programme was basically a fake and was just invented to promote stuff on behalf of friends of the owner. Just about the opposite of what it claimed to be, in fact.
I had my doubts about No BS Zone from the start because of what happened with the owner's last venture (Banners Go MLM) but I signed up as NBS was recommended to me by someone whose judgement I trusted. I am glad I held back from upgrading. Needless to say, I won't be upgrading right now (if ever) and I have stopped promoting NBS and removed their link from my website. I have a bad feeling about the programme, especially the lack of response from the owner so I emailed all my contacts and warned them to be on the lookout especially in regard to the credit card part.
The worst part about something like this is that it reflects badly upon the rest of us who are trying to run a business on an ethical basis.
Second chance ok but I don't give anyone a third chance.

Could you explain the 'Banners go MLM' fiasco. I have done a search and there are many sites promoting this concept, but none that I have found showing the trouble you refer to.
Thanks
Jim
Hi Jim,
Banners Go MLM has been severely criticised for over a year. The main complaints are that they do not have enough advertising sites so it will take years for orders to be fulfilled.
People have voiced the suspicion that Mike Glaspie had to all intents and purposes abandoned this project to move on to NBSZ.
Here are a few quotes about Banners Go MLM from the Internet Warriors Forum:
"Sadly, I was one of those who took the bait when (edited) promoted the $995 package. The only results in 4 mos have been 3 subcriptions. I read somewhere other than this forum that banner ads don't work now if they ever did. If I was making money from them and could pay down my American Express bill that I used to pay for them, I would certainly feel differently.I agree that any program that doesn't deliver should not be promoted. I also have to say that my experience makes me reluctant to do anything with Mike Glaspie though I know he is a successful marketer for fear I'll get burned again. Fool me once shame on you,fool me twice shame on me."
"My sentiments exactly! That was the most expensive learning experience of my life. I almost bailed out of PIPS altogether after that. I am glad I stuck with it and wrote it off as a learning experience, but I can't help but wonder how many others decided to just call it quits. The worst part was, since I was so new, I actually feel for the "there's only 2 left" B.S."
"I thought I was the only one that threw $1000 bucks at this. I can barely get them to respond to my emails. At the current rate of exposures, it will take 6 1/2 years to fulfill my 5000 clicks. They claim they do not have enough sites for more exposures/day.
A very expensive lesson..."
" If they haven't got enough sites to advertise on, then why the hell does he carry on advertising that offer.
This is where the Internet differs to the earth world. He would never have got away with that if he couldn't deliver the goods someone would have sued him by now.
I seem to see this time and time again on the internet. People getting away with ripping others off and getting away with it."
" IMO, BannersGoMLM hit its apex long ago. I have thousands of credits that are being displayed at an abysmally slow rate (less than 50 per month). I would be curious to know if Michael Glaspie is even actively promoting the site anymore."
Thre is more but the long and the short of it is that a lot of disappointed people wasted a lot of money on a useless advertising package.
